Post secret is a blog by Frank Warrent that updates on Sundays, and people send in their "secrets" to be posted anonymously - usually on post cards (some by e-mail). Some of the secrets are funny - some painful. All are very interesting, and I'll warn you - this site can get a little addictive. :-) There are also live events, which are appearances and presentations by the creator of the blog - the schedule is at the bottom of Postsecret.com.
No, that's not a typo - that's actually the name of the site. Readers send in photos of their cats, and everyone captions the photos. It's a lot of fun. The site administrators have implemented a brilliant strategy for generating back-links to their site (those are good for page rank, remember?), by allowing bloggers and social networkers to embed the captioned photos on other websites, like this:
Dog lovers, you haven't been left out, there's also I Has a Hotdog. There's also Totally Looks Like (for photos of people and things that look like other people and things - much funnier than it sounds), The FAIL Blog, and Graph Jam by these folks, as well as a few newer ones - check out the tabs in the header of any of these sites to explore.
